just like to say this is getting BORING… the whole screen cast battle thing. Can we have some traditional tuts and articles back please.
( )Damian Dawber October 9th
@NETTUTS said back to written tuts next week!
Montana Flynn October 13th
Their are plenty of other tutorial sites offering traditional style tutorials and articles. I give nettuts props for offering their users to contribute to the site through these short and quick tuts. I would rather watch a 5 minute screencast and learn something small then read a 30 minute tut that I have no real world use for.
Thanks to all the submitters for their time and knowledge!

When does the voting stop? I was posted on the 1st day & the voting is exhausting

Good to know… thnx Jeff
Are you then picking the grand winner from there or is there a public vote off for from the top 5?
Jeffrey Way October 9th
Once we have the top five. About five members of the Envato staff will then rank them.

progressive enhancement ftw
( )Al October 9th
some great tutorials.
( )has anyone compiled a list of all of them (not just the ones being voted on but all the rest as well)? screenr sure does not give a very good way to reference ones you might be interested in, doing a word search is not so good when you have no idea what topics might be covered on screenr

I guess that works if people still put #nettuts in the title, otherwise not. I have had a problem with getting to the second page of entries when I used that link, have waited for some time but usually no go.
thanks Jeff, when are you off to Aussie land?

Jeffrey Way October 9th
Hey Al – me too. Twitter needs to fix that. For now, simply disable JavaScript, and then click on the “More” link to view the rest.
The Australia move was put on hold because of Visa reasons. It’s actually REALLY difficult to get into the country.
Maybe one day…
Al October 9th
thanks for the fix, will try it out, and good luck with the Aussie thing. really like what you are doing here on Net Tuts and TF regardless of where you are hanging your hat

Out of interest, how many entries did you pick these 25 screencasts from? I guess about 100 or so from the favorites link?

I like the #4 Adding Captions to Images with JQuery. Altho I would say that the div won’t resize smaller for smaller images. Therefore there will be a big visible div around the picture and the span will appear beside the pic instead of below because of this.
Is there a way to resize the div depending of the size of the image, rather than actually entering the width into the css as this would make it only useful if all images were the same size??
Altho it is a good screencast apart from this.

But he doesn’t use caching, shortcuts and could definitively chain better.

i’ll give my vote to 2. Create Private Pages on a WordPress Site. It may be a subjective choice, but it satifies my needs.
( )Ronen Bekerman October 11th
I Like this one too… one question though – How can we limit just the user to see his menu item, and not show it all to all even though they can’t access… sometimes the client list itself is something you want to be private too.
( )Seth Etter October 10th
Progressive enhancement with JavaScript is great! I learned some nice tricks from that one. It has my vote.
All of them are great though without a doubt. Good work to all of you.
( )Loige October 11th
YQL is really innovative, so i voted for that.
Codeigniter tutorial is great too
Thankyou everybody for these videos
( )izulcybercafe October 11th
i’ll give my vote to number 1. Codeigniter…
( )Burak October 12th
Thank you.
If people are interested, I can also post a screencast showing how to add Doctrine to Codeigniter.
( )Jonathan October 12th
#4 is a nice effect. Thanks for the quick videos.
